Royal Family News: King Charles’ “Ferocious Work Ethic” Legendary, Has A Temper

British royal family news divulges that when Charles was Prince of Wales, his staff considered him to be not a pushover but a demanding boss who had an appetite for work. Did we mention he had a temper, too? Wonder where Harry gets his from ….

A new book supplies multiple quotes from his former employees and it should be required reading for King Charles new staff.

Valentine Low wrote, Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown, and excerpts have been published in The Times. In one example a former aide said that Charles has the capacity to go from, “zero to 60 in a flash and then back down again.” But perhaps the most significant thing about Charles’ zoomies is that he does not lash out at his staff, he “rarely directs” his anger at those around him. That’s not true about the leaky fountain pen he used in his first days as regent but that’s another tale for another time..

One insider said, “Things would frustrate him, especially the media.” That is pretty common for any high profile individual, and some of Charles’ family members are constantly in the headlines.

Overall Charles’ staff described him, “as someone with ‘enormous stamina’ and lots of ideas who is ‘always working… seven days a week.’”

And, the man who is, “very demanding of himself,” expects his staff to have the same work ethos.

The book claims that he calls aides, “at any time,” even at Christmas.

One source said, “At any moment he may want to call you about something. Working on his boxes, on his ideas, on his papers. The pace is pretty intense.” This sounds about right for a man who is described as a, “man on a mission” with a variety of interests.

Charles is no dilettante or one trick pony, either. He has connected with multitudes of advisers including experts in, “architecture, alternative medicine, business, organic farming, housing, Jungian psychoanalysis, Islamic art, rainforests, crop circles and the media.”

On the downside, “One former member of staff suggested these outside advisers sometimes undermined the morale of Charles’ team by suggesting they were falling short.” There is always someone with an agenda isn’t there?

Perfect example: “Duchess of Sussex believed her marriage to Prince Harry would make her ‘the Beyonce of the UK.’” Nothing more to say on that.
